From Your Media Specialist
Melissa Nelson
Greetings!
Our summer vacation is over, and it is now time for us to begin the real work of educating our scholars! I am excited about what this year is going to bring, as I know you are. I look forward to helping each of you to enhance your lessons and presentations. Whether is through a device, another form of technology, or with print resources, I know that we can accomplish great things together,
Melissa Nelson
Technology Tid Bits
- If you have any technology or classroom resource needs, please let me know.
- In your classroom should be remotes for the television, projector, document camera, and dvd/vcr. If you are missing any of these items, let me know.
- Do not move (or remove) any of your technology; your computers, and all other devices (including telephone) must remain where they are currently located.
- If you experience any technology malfunctions, please call me. You should never contact the helpdesk for assistance. As your technology contact, I will communicate to the technology department your technology concerns.
- Call the media center if you discover that a copying machine is out of toner, or if a laminating machine is out of paper.
- You may access our Share Point site from our website's Quick Links section. It can also be accessed from the Teacher Resource page on our website.
Reserving A Space
If you would like to reserve the computer lab, you must do so by completing the "Reserve A Space Form" located on the AJMS STAFF Teacher Resource Page on the school's website (http://ajms.gcsnc.com) . Once completed, I will place your event on the calendar. You may check the "Reserve A Space Calendar" for vacancies. Furthermore, send me an email if you'd like to reserve the largest classroom in the building (the media center).
Available Technology
- Every student and teacher will receive a tablet. A schedule for tablet distribution is forthcoming.
- Teachers can check out a class set of keyboards.
- Each teacher will receive three chargers and a power strip.
- We have CPS (classroom performance system) devices available for checkout.
